The most serious deficiency was its failure to comply with laws and regulations regarding patient safety and well being, state officials said. They also cited the facility for failing to maintain proper air conditioning and heating.

The state said Ravenwood failed to follow regulations to maintain the building temperature at 75 degrees, and the operators failed to store, prepare and serve food under sanitary conditions.

"They have a lot to fix and a lot to come into compliance with before we allow patients to move back into the facility," said Nancy Grimm, the director of the Office of Health Care Quality.

On July 6, the state ordered Ravenwood's 150 residents to be relocated to other facilities. The air conditioning system broke down days earlier.

Over the Fourth of July weekend, a male resident called 911 complaining the building was hot and that he wasn't able to breathe, police said. City medics and emergency operations personnel got Ravenwood management to bring in portable air conditioners until the central system could be repaired.

Authorities on Tuesday confirmed that one male resident suffered heat symptoms related to dehydration when first responders came to the rescue of residents.

According to the state's report, temperatures inside the building were as high as 94 degrees even after running the portable air conditioners for about four hours. That helped to seal the relocation order.

Until last month, Chandra Jones lived at Ravenwood for two years. She said the facility has a history of problems.

"They don't care about the safety of the residents at all. All they care about is the money," she said.

The state cited 24 deficiencies at Ravenwood last year, with problems ranging from failing to do worker background checks to not having a policy on distributing medications.

Ravenwood's Louisiana-based parent company told investigators that the central air system is fixed, but residents are not allowed back in just yet.

"No, they aren't back yet, and they won't be permitted to enter back into the facility until we are assured they are in full compliance as to the deficiencies we have cited," Grimm said.

State investigators said they found serious mechanical problems with Ravenwood's air conditioning system dating back to June 2009, and they said the problems were not resolved.

Authorities also determined that the computer system used for maintenance in the building did not include documentation for individual units in residents' rooms. Investigators said they believe that affected the ability to cool the building.

Ravenwood has 10 days to submit a plan of correction. It can also appeal the state's findings.
